That's exactly what I was just thinking this morning as well. A little program runs on your PC with a button for "Code Reload".

Note that the latest code (I don't recall if 2010.beta2 did this, but it's in the current repo) implements the 5 second restart loop entirely in Python (in boot.py). If boot.py exits the C++ level terminates as well. So it's easy enough to customize the restart behavior however you like.
